  • Stop oversharing! 3 tips to focus your online marketing message

    We’ve all had those moments where we’ve gone a little overboard and shared too much information – with a friend, colleague, or perhaps even a client. My cheeks still burn from the embarrassment I felt the day I “earned” the “overshare badge” on the old Foursquare. I was just so enthusiastic about the platform, that…

  • Underearning? Upper Limit Problems? Raise Your Success Ceiling & Re-set Your Thermostat

    In my house, there’s a never-ending battle that’s almost as epic as the fight for the remote control. The thermostat. My husband likes it hot. He closes the vent in our room and bundles under at least two blankets even during Summer! My son likes it cold. If it’s warmer than 65, he’ll turn the thermostat…

  • My 4-Step Plan to Achieve More and Work Less

    [Creative Freedom S1E10] At the beginning of every year, I sit down with my Dreamblazing program and set my goals – then I review them each quarter. But they also say that “life happens every 6 months” – and here we are at the middle of the year. It’s a great time to make sure…

  • Hiring help, letting go, and trusting your team

    Shazam! My audition in Detroit for The Voice went better than I expected, although I did not get called back. It’s always fun for me to go to “The D” and this time was no exception. I learned some powerful business lessons during my long wait in the audition line (post coming soon), plus I met a childhood…

  • Chasing Vanity Metrics? How I Made $30,000 my first year on Twitter

    In my early days on Facebook, I was quick to follow anyone with a pulse. If they connected with me as a friend, I returned the favor. I watched my list of “friends” skyrocket to well over 1000 people in very short order. Problem is, while my friend count was increasing, it didn’t result in…

  • The 6-Figure Distinction

    Whenever I’m working with a new client, invariably we come to the topic of income. How much are you making? How much do you want to make? How much do you want to KEEP?
